Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the roles of acculturative stress, life satisfaction, and language
literacy in depression in non-Korean women residing in South Korea following marriage to Korean men.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed, using an anonymous, self-reporting questionnaire. A total of
173 women were selected using a proportional stratified random sampling method. The relation between
acculturation, depression, language literacy, life satisfaction and socio-demographic variables and the predictors
of depression among participants were analyzed. The analysis included descriptive statistics and hierarchical
multiple regression.
Results: Of the participants, 9.2% had depression, which was almost twice the rate of depression found in the
general Korean population. In hierarchical multiple regression analysis, acculturative stress (beta = −.325,
P b .001) and life satisfaction (beta = −.282, ) were significantly associated with the level of
depression. This final model was statistically significant and life satisfaction, acculturative stress, language
literacy accounted for 31.0% (adjusted R2) of the variance in the depression score (P b .001).
Conclusions: Elevated acculturative stress and less life satisfaction were significantly associated with a higher
level of depression in migrant wives in Korea. Implications for practice and research are discussed
